The Lower East Side Ecology Center Garden on Seventh Street has been rededicated in honor of its late co-founder.
Moving forward, the green space on Seventh Street between Avenue B and Avenue C will be known as the Clyde Romero Memorial Garden.
Romero, a longtime East Village resident, was co-founder of the LES Ecology Center. He died in January 2022 at age 84.
During a ceremony this past Thursday, Romero was celebrated "as an artist, community and environmental activist, a dear friend to many."
